SwissMarine Inc has unwittingly become embroiled in a demurrage court battle between a Dubai-based commodities trader and an Indian rice producer that has resulted in the arrest of one of the Athens-headquartered shipowner’s bulkers.
SwissMarine’s 63,600-dwt Clear Sky (built 2014) was seized on 5 January in India’s Deendayal Port after being caught up in a dispute over a rice cargo carried on a Greek-owned bulker.
